Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes with Miso Butter

Roasted Japanese sweet potatoes with miso butter are the perfect side dish!

This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but don’t let that fool you. These roasted Japanese sweet potatoes with miso butter are insanely flavorful! Japanese sweet potatoes have purple skin and white flesh. They are less candy-sweet than traditional orange sweet potatoes, but instead, have a slightly sweet buttery flavor and dense velvety texture.

Miso Butter is a staple in my fridge. Trust me, after you make it you’re not going to run out of things to put it on. Slather it on grilled bread, corn on the cob, steak, fish, roasted veggies.. the possibilities are endless!
